chris christie generally asked for almost $38 billion. you see 36.$8 billi8 billion an governor of new york asking for 42 billion. there have been reports that the administration will maybe send up a request for emergency spending, so-called supplemental request for somewhere in the range of $50 billion which wouldn't come close to what these two governors asking for in a combined way. chris christie is going to first go to the white house and in fact those might be pictures right now of him walking in there to meet with very important people there including the chief of staff to the white house. but then he's going to come here. i'm told that he's going to first meet with the two democratic senators from his home state of new jersey to talk strategy and then he's going to meet with maybe the most important person he could talk to in washington and that is his fellow republican who is the speaker of the house, john boehner. why is that the most important? because he is going to be the most important person to convince that you can open up
